Graff and Stella: Legal Eagles

First, who can ignore that the Graff store on New Bond Street was robbed for a blinding 40 million pounds worth of jewelry–that's roughly 66 million dollars in bling. The heist took place sometime last week, although the police and the company only just released information to the media about the theft yesterday. The robbery was like something out of a movie: Three different getaway cars were utilized for the thieves' escape, bystanders were held at gunpoint, and shots were fired into the street, according to London's Metropolitan Police. They have captured footage of the robbers on CCTV but have no leads as of yet.

On a less dramatic note, Stella McCartney has a little lawsuit on her hands and it's originating from Ali Hewson, Bono's wife. Hewson and her business partner, Bryan Meehan, find the name of Stella's new fragrance, Stella Nude, something to contend with. Why? Hewson and Meehan own an organic skincare line together called Nude Skincare and, well, as you can imagine it's all a bit too close for comfort. But don't expect any major drama here as the matter will likely be settled as gracefully as possible, I mean what else would you expect from bonafide rock-star royalty?
